Aims of St Giles Trust
"I know of few more practical contributions to the solution of the ongoing problem and could not commend their work more highly."
Lord Ramsbotham, former HM Chief Inspector of Prisons, on the work of St Giles Trust.
Our aim is to reduce crime and social exclusion. We believe that the people we help can be part of the solution to crime and offending.
Our work harnesses the skills and experience of prisoners and ex-offenders who provide peer-led services which break the cycle of offending - supporting people from social exclusion towards positive and sustainable futures.
Our objective is to use our award-winning peer advice services to deliver a package of support for disadvantaged people that helps them to reintegrate into their communities.
By supporting disadvantaged people to take control of their own lives and also support others who have been in their situation, we will break the cycle of offending and deliver effective peer led services which support people from social exclusion towards positive futures.
We see beyond the stereotypes and the labels that are applied to people and genuinely involve them in service delivery. That is why 20% of our paid staff are ex-service users and 90% of our services are delivered with the help of clients.
